revset: replace parsing alias definition by _parsealiasdefn to parse strictly

Before this patch, referring alias arguments is parsed by string base
operation "str.replace".

This causes problems below (see the previous patch introducing
"_parsealiasdefn" for detail)

  - the shorter name argument breaks referring the longer name
  - argument names in the quoted string are broken

This patch replaces parsing alias definition by "_parsealiasdefn" to
parse strictly.
